Corrections and clarifications

In our interview with Barry Diller, page 35, October 27, we said, both in the text and in a sidebar, The CV, that the company owned 24 "enterprises". IAC have asked us to point out that the company now has a total of 69 "brands/websites".

The reports of the death of William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury, in the archive slot, page 40, October 27, should have been dated October 27 1944 (not 1955). Temple died on October 26 1944.

Sir William Jowitt switched from Liberal to Labour on being appointed attorney-general in 1929, not 1919 (Elsewhere, page 38, October 26).

The total staff costs incurred by MPs (a graphic, page 9, October 27) are £48.8m, not the more alarming £48.8bn shown.

In a column, Ballot dancing, page 30, yesterday, we referred to circumstances in which the Scottish Tories might still get "an assembly toehold". Wales has an assembly, Scotland has a parliament.

The photograph of Tomas Tranströmer, page 22, Review, October 28, was reversed, as the Chinese wall hanging showed.

Contrary to what we said in a column headed Dumbing down Shakespeare, page 20, October 28, King Lear did not give his land to his "wicked sisters". He gave it to his daughters.

A report headed Beam me up Scotty - and misquote me for better effect, page 4, October 25, misquoted the title of the book from which it was quoting. It is not They Never Said That. It is What They Didn't Say.
